INVENTION.
a Salt Lake Man's Improvement Upon
the TELEPHONE.

During the recent visit of Mr.. q. f.
Annett, ofthe Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone company, to this city, he related to
several gentlemen the exploits of a Salt
Lake electrician, who promises to rival
Edison in the line of remarkable electrical
inventions. The genius is known as Prof.
Won Sidney. He lives the life of a her
init, spending a greater portion of his
time in a dingy laboratory which he MAIN
tains in the suburbs of the city. The pro-
fessor manages to earn a livelihood by as
saying and analyzing. Won Sidney has
confined his labors to IN effort to perfect
wonderful improvement upon the ordinary
telephone. In this great work he is sub
stantially assisted and materially encoui-
aged by the Bell Telephone company,
which corporation will doubtlessly secure
possession of the invention upon its sue
cessful completion.
The electricians idea is a very simple
one, but an addition to the long distance
talking machine which will prove of great
NoluS w Ill uSCIS VI Tic apparatus. NOu
Sidney proposes to add an automatic
writing machine to the instrument, which
will chronicle on a type writer every mes
sage sent over the wire.
The utility of the invention will be
readily observed and eagerly adopted by
all business men, and will prove of inesti-
mable value where the individual sought
is absent from his post of duty. In this
event the news, advice or anything else
transmitted will be found neatly printed
in the telephone box upon the return of
the person for whom it was intended.
Should Won Sidney succeed in perfect
ing his invention he will not only realize
a handsome fortune himself, but will
place a valuable acquisition in the hands
of a corporation, and die with the knowl-
edge that he has given to mankind a re-
markably useful and wonderful, yet simple
piece of machinery.

Harry Hynds, who resides in the
Knights of PYthias block, imagined that
burglars were operating in Stanley's gro
Gerry store. His first impulse was to give
battle to the thieves single handed, but
upon elaboration he concluded to secure
official aid. Acting upon this plan ofcam-
paign he secured the assistance of Capt.
Smith, Policeman Nolan, and Night
Watchman Tucker, informing them that
Jones was drilling a hole in Stanley's
safe, and that immediate action was i'm
perative.
The trio of guardians of the city coin
clded with Harry, and observed in the in
cident a golden opportunity to distinguish
themselves by effecting the capture of
Sheriff Sharpless' late charge.
Nolan and Hynds cautiously entered
the Eddy street end Of the alley, while
Smith and Tucker faithfully guarded the
other approach. The first pair had pro
ceeded but a short distance when their
ears caught what they supposed to be the
sound of the safe-blowers hammer de-
scending upon a drill. Hear that, hear
that said Hynds. "Of course | hear
it, and I'll show it to you in a minute.
That's the workmen in this bake shop
kneading dough" An investigation de-
yeloped the fact hat the innocent and
toiling bakers we're the cause of the
alarm.
The reporter left the party as they
dropped into Hynds' saloon, and told the
proprietor that he wouldn't say anything
about it.

DISAPPOINTED THE CROWD.
Sterry Landed In the Suburbs and
Msrched Up Town.

Fully $50 people assembled at the depot
last evening to catch a glimpse of young
VIM. q. Sterry, the first of the escaped
prisoners to be captured. The curious
crowd were deeply chagrined when they
learned that the officer in charge of the
prisoner had left the train at the Denver
Pacific switch with his prodigal, and pro-
ceeded to the county jail by a circuitous
route. Sheriff Sharpless was among the
disappointed, but managed to reach the
court house in season to welcome Deputy
Smalley and the alleged horse thief.
Sterry is a quite youthful and rather
ordinary appearing man, and the most
undesirable man of the quartette. His

Largest Artesian we'll In the World,
Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. I4-.An artesian
well. now being bored in st. Augustine,
upset many. preconceived opinions
about Florida. The well, which is twelve
inches in diameter is the largest artssian
we'll in the world and by actual measure
ment flows at the rate Of 1000, 600 gal
Ions per twenty-four hours. Ihe we'll is
now 760 feet below the surface, and is
being deepened every day A ~three-inch
cable OF the strongest material is used to
hold the N drill which is being
used to sink the we'll. The old-iashionsd
idea that Florida was of coral formation
has Of late years been vigorously dis
puted. The boring of this well proves
that an immense depth of coral under
lies the state and samples Of the material
have been saved OF every stage of
depth, and for the last $50 feet the drill
has been going through coral rock.
Another interesting fact is developed,
that the lower the we'll q drilled the
higher the temperature Of the water
becomes. 1t is now about 80 degrees
Fahrenheit.

The National Viev OF Washington, d. c., reprints
the following letter from the Corpus Christi
Caller:
CORPUS CHRISTI, June 16, 1887.
DEAR S1R:-We, the undersigned resi-
dents of the city of Corpus Christi, Nueces
county, Texas, feeling a deep interest in
the prosperity and welfare of this portion
of the state, wish to convey to you in this
manner our appreciation of the great
work you are organizing in the construc-
ton of harbor by building pier and
breakwater into the Gulf of Mexico from
from our city, that will afford safe har
Dor for ships of the largest class, while re-
ceiving and discharging cargo.
Having examined your plans of con-
struction, we think they are entirely FEAST
BILE and practicable, and, in our Judgment,
solve the deep-water problem on the Texas
coast. The value of such harbor to our
cattle industry cannot well be over-esti-
mated, as it will afford facilities for the
export of fat cattle to the Atlantic ports of
the United States, and to the seaport cities
of Europe.
The business interests of Texas, Kansas,
New Mexico, Arizona, California and the
states of northern Mexico, are too impor-
tant to await the uncertain action of the
United States government.
This harbor will be the inlet and outlet
of commerce over the shortest line across
this continent, which we think will be-
come the great highway of commerce be-
tween the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and
between Asia and Europe; and is located
in latitude 81 in curve of the gulf. 1t
will become the natural outlet for one
sixth of the productive portion OF this
continent, and the variety of natural pro
ducts incident to it are greater than that
of any other seaport in the world. IL will
draw from Mexico, dye woods, drugs,hbres
goat skins, hides, wool, sugar, cocoa, wheat,
cotton, coffee, paper pulp, minerals and
precious metals.
From Texas will go out over the pier,
her great natural productions OF cotton,
wool, beef, mutton, hides, skins, salt, coal,
ores, horses and mules.
Kansas will send her quota OF wheat and
corn.
Colorado and New Mexico will send their
ores and metals.
California will send wheat, precious

Current Thought.

Crime Beginnings.-Mr. W. M. F.
Round, secretary of the Prison associa-
ton of New York, writes, in the Independ
emit, a thoughtful paper on "Crime Be-
ginnings and Crime Prevention" He
says:
~ have been speaking of crime begin
ming and crime prevention in these fam
lilies only which are called respectable. A
very large proportion of our embezzlers,
forgers, and many of our thieves come
from such families. There is smaller
portion from this class that commit what
are known as crimes of passion. For
these, too, there is greater blame to BIZ put
upon the parents than often is put there.
Many passionate child rules the house
knee goes into passion because
him or some toy denied him. He
shrieks and strikes his mother, and the
mother says: Poor little boy, he has
such a passionate nature; he can't be
crossed and yields to him. She ought to
spank hlm-spank him hard, for being in
a passion, and give him nothing till his
passion had cooled. The child, though he
be so young that he cannot speak, if he
be old enough to lift his fist and strike a
blow, deserves punishment; needs to have
lesson of repression taught it. The
mother who neglects this increases the
chances of her sons going to the gal
lows. When the child is older, there are
better disciplinary punishments than
spanking, but when the child reaches such
an age that they are useful, it may be too
late, his temper may have grown into
dominating force in his character that
cannot be eradicated. Mothers some
times say, when child shows vile tenn
per and shrieks great deal, that it would
endanger his life to punish him. Per-
haps SO; but you still more endanger his
future if you don't punish him. Many a
gallows tragedy has had its beginning on
the mothers lap"
